PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDIVIDUALS WITH DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS
PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDIVIDUALS WITH DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS

Summary/Abstract: This review article examines depressive disorders within the framework of adaptive coping models in adulthood, with a particular focus on psychological resilience as a core resource for successful adaptation. Drawing on contemporary empirical evidence, the study explores the dynamic interrelationships between depressive symptomatology, coping strategies, functional status, and quality of life. The synthesis of theoretical and empirical findings supports the thesis that the severity of clinical symptoms represents a necessary, yet insufficient, condition for predicting individual adaptation. Rather, the type and stability of the coping strategies employed, together with the level of psychological resilience, emerge as key determinants that mediate and/or moderate the impact of depression on daily functioning and subjective well-being.
